@@juliogomesdesouza9035 True, though in my opinion I believe it's less a problem of "can the VAs do it" and more a problem of "can Capcom afford to have the VAs do it". There are plenty of games with _lots_ of voice acting (Mass Effect, for example, which depending on how you play is, like, 80% talking sometimes not even getting into background chatter) but those games have Triple A budgets while most Ace Attorney games... do not. Even the later ones which have way bigger budgets than the Phoenix Trilogy (where all the voice acting was done by members of the staff to save money) still don't have big enough budgets to afford to pay voice actors for the amount of lines they'd have to say.
If they were to have fully voiced lines, I'd want it to be done like the Professor Layton games. Mainly using the blip sound effects, but fully voiced when important plot points come up.
Same with Ryunosuke, he calls her Miss Susato in english but Susato-san in japanese, that way you kinda get when they are speaking english in the context of the game
Ryunosuke and Kazuma have Japanese accents? I don't hear it. Even the JP names they say sound like there are spoken by non-native JP speakers. Kazuma says Auchi as Ouchie and not Ah-oo-chi as a native JP speaker would. There's a subtle difference between the two (not so subtle to trained ears though) and Kazuma's pronunciation clearly leans towards the foreign end. So these two have wholly Brit accents to my ears. Susato's the only one who has a perfect blend.

They did that a lot. For some reason in one of the cases, Gregson has a voiced "objection" or "hold it", but in a much more important scene where it is clear he said it, that one ISN'T voiced. Bothers me way too much to be honest.
I think in the case of the voice clips, the localisers were probably sent all of the files by Capcom Japan, and saw all of the characters which had clips recorded, even if they went unused. So they probably wanted to get all of them done just in case.
I was almost expecting Ryu to have an American accent. I'm glad he got a british accent, makes sense since he would learn British English expecting to be in England and would be surrounded by others with that accent
Even if we got one, by the time it was ready for a dub, they'd probably have to recast people anyway. Its the nature of anime productions taking so much time. And they can't just delay until every actor is ready to reprise.
@@Teknanam not to mention if Funimation did it, they would recast to American VA's. GAA have British VA's, so it would have to use American VA just like Dragon Quest Your Story, since that movie, unlike the rest of the Dragon Quest franchise which uses British VA's, uses American VA's

I’m late but I second this 100% 😭👌🏼 I was already obsessed with him from the moment he appeared on screen and this only adds to the feelings 😩☺️ do you happen to know when he says it in the game?
Sholmes’ voice showed up sparsely that I ended up giving him Zeke’s voice from Xenoblade. In fact for all the British characters I gave em voices from Xenoblade.
I did the exact same the first time I played through the fan translation of GAA1. I was really hoping they'd cast Zeke's VA for Sholmes and Nia's VA for Gina, I think they would have been perfect (and on the same note I wish Gina had more spoken lines, obviously). IMO Sholmes' official VA sounds too serious for the character considering how childish and scatterbrained he is as a character, that's why I find him so similar to Zeke; he's immature and playful but he can also be serious (and even a good mentor and friend) when the need arises.
I could only see half of my screen at the time so when Ryunosuke's line of "It's an animalistic desire to take down my prey!" played And I only saw the smolest cutest mouse in the world I went 'Aw... baby!" XDD I love the animal mascots so much
thank you for compiling these, and with the subtitles and speech bubbles too! it’s a really helpful resource. it’s so fun to compare the english vas to the japanese ones. they all did so well. i have a really big soft spot for susato’s accent, though. as a whole though, the diversity in the accents is sooo damn good. thank you again for this video!!
0:40 Yep, that's definitely in the promotional art. In-game, it appears after Brett destroys evidence, giving him newfound determination to prove his innocence
@@davisbowe8668 I guess they think dubbed all voice straight cost less time than categorize which voice is unused AND dubbed the voice after. Most of them just a speech bubbles after all.
In the additional content (I think it was in the digital art book) they mentioned that case 2-1, the one with Ryutaro and the murder of A. Shin, was originally intended to have Mikotoba as the defendant. They ended up changing their mind since they felt like an all male, all adult cast (except Susato, but even then she was pretending to be a man) wouldn't be as fun, and made the defendant Susato's childhood bestfriend instead. Maybe that's where the additional lines were going to be used! But it IS still a bummer that papa Mikotoba was the only character in the series finale that didn't get a VA to say his goodbyes. It's so unfair ://
Gina and Tusspells’s voices are waaaay deeper than I thought they should be. And McGilded sounds so old and sick, lol. I always reckoned he sounded more like Mr. Krabs. Graydon’s voice, though, is just *chef’s kiss*. Feckin heavenly.

i just realized...bruce fairplay says "strewth". he wants it to be a "fair dinkum" trial, and even mentioned he went down under. bruce fairplay has been to my homecountry of australia and that makes me happy that theres SOME aus representation in this game even if not much
Barok's VA is the same for Estinien in FFXIV. Guess we know what he was doing when he was off-screen in Shadowbringers lol. Now I'm just imagining Estinien shouting objection with Orn Khai on his shoulder looking haughty lol.
I love the sheer amount of characters that get to scream “Hold it!” I hope we have more random one off interjection shouts from characters in the future games. (Would love full voice acting too)
2:02 This one turned out to be exactly right as far as the entire AA series goes. Naruhodo vs Auchi leads down to EVERY Wright vs Payne trial, and the annoying trial-run brothers (pun intended) _never_ pull out a win against the Wright family.
My headcanon is that asogi actually put a curse on Auchi here ensuring they’d never win against the naruhodos and the sword swing was part of the ritual lol

I’m late but I second this 100% 😭👌🏼 I was already obsessed with him from the moment he appeared on screen and this only adds to the feelings 😩☺️ do you happen to know when he says it in the game?
Sholmes’ voice showed up sparsely that I ended up giving him Zeke’s voice from Xenoblade. In fact for all the British characters I gave em voices from Xenoblade.
Gregson also kinda sounds like the colonel from XC1
@@a.m.aworld2802 I gave Gregson Dickson's voice and then Gina inherited Nia's.
They missed a golden opportunity by not casting Damien Slash as Sholmes
@@a.m.aworld2802 Gregson’s ”Is that right?” Sounds more like Chelmey from Layton.
I did the exact same the first time I played through the fan translation of GAA1. I was really hoping they'd cast Zeke's VA for Sholmes and Nia's VA for Gina, I think they would have been perfect (and on the same note I wish Gina had more spoken lines, obviously).
IMO Sholmes' official VA sounds too serious for the character considering how childish and scatterbrained he is as a character, that's why I find him so similar to Zeke; he's immature and playful but he can also be serious (and even a good mentor and friend) when the need arises.
Iris, Sholmes, and Barok's VA's did such a wonderful job! My favorite has to be Barok though, you can hear the pain in his voice.
Herlock’s voice is so satisfying, definitely my favorite :D
Couldn't forget Wagahai could you? I respect that.
⚠️ SPOILERS for the folks who haven't finished the games ⚠️
1:21 for Kazuma's voice lines in TGAA 1
&
7:36 for TGAA 2
I like the difference!! It shows how Kazuma had changed over the game.
Gregson's hold it is really well done. Stands out for me.
Thanks for this again!
I really love how they went the extra mile and dubbed the unused voice clips and they're all so good!
I could only see half of my screen at the time so when Ryunosuke's line of "It's an animalistic desire to take down my prey!" played And I only saw the smolest cutest mouse in the world I went 'Aw... baby!" XDD
I love the animal mascots so much
Well, he's not joking when he said that he's a mouse compare to stronghart.
Shrewnosuke
@@yashk3904 what is a "shrew"?
@@adamryamizard5560its a small animal, similar to a mouse
@@theducksarecoming I see now, thanks for the explanation, man.
thank you for compiling these, and with the subtitles and speech bubbles too! it’s a really helpful resource. it’s so fun to compare the english vas to the japanese ones. they all did so well. i have a really big soft spot for susato’s accent, though. as a whole though, the diversity in the accents is sooo damn good. thank you again for this video!!
0:40 Yep, that's definitely in the promotional art. In-game, it appears after Brett destroys evidence, giving him newfound determination to prove his innocence
Is such a same that of mikotoba's voice clips only was used the "Take that" they're all amazing.
yes, such a same…
I wonder why he had so many voice clips if the "Take That" was only used?
@@davisbowe8668 I guess they think dubbed all voice straight cost less time than categorize which voice is unused AND dubbed the voice after. Most of them just a speech bubbles after all.
In the additional content (I think it was in the digital art book) they mentioned that case 2-1, the one with Ryutaro and the murder of A. Shin, was originally intended to have Mikotoba as the defendant. They ended up changing their mind since they felt like an all male, all adult cast (except Susato, but even then she was pretending to be a man) wouldn't be as fun, and made the defendant Susato's childhood bestfriend instead. Maybe that's where the additional lines were going to be used! But it IS still a bummer that papa Mikotoba was the only character in the series finale that didn't get a VA to say his goodbyes. It's so unfair ://
3:32 just leaving this here to hear the beauty when i want to
I don't understand why Gina only has _one_ voice line throughout both games, despite being a major character.
Gina and Tusspells’s voices are waaaay deeper than I thought they should be. And McGilded sounds so old and sick, lol. I always reckoned he sounded more like Mr. Krabs. Graydon’s voice, though, is just *chef’s kiss*. Feckin heavenly.
Strange. Shamspeare has a voice for his 'Hold it!' but its not used when he says it
(when he first appears on the stand)
I wonder why
It is strange, same as Iyesa
I can't imagine how many times the actors must have flubbed and used Sherlock' s actual name by accident.
"Guill Tea!"
"No Guill Tea!"
*_*Guilty_** / Not **_guilty_*
I feel like Gregson's "Hold It!" is the most satisfying voice line in the game.
I love how they have their actual accents
6:59: Ashley Graydon’s “What’s this?” was music to my ears oml 😭💓 after hearing it, my skin cleared, my crops flourished, grades never better 😭☺️ does anyone know when he says this in game??
Edit: turns out it’s unused, which is a shame :( won’t stop me from playing this over and over though lol
YOUR WORK ELI!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! i love it!!! (also god bless i love the english voices in this game. they did so well considering the pandemic as well!!!)
WEH WEH THANK YOU ASTER!!! cri!! 😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖
they doing recording session from their house actually due to pandemic as you can see from Mark Ota instagram post
The growl and rasp in van ziek's actor's voice 💕
Harebrayne's (or mr dobinbough, whatever you wanna call him) voice is perfect.
Simply the best english dub in an AA game
Glad you kept Wagahai at the end, she's very important
Ryunosuke sounds the most British for a Japanese man
Yeah because
1. He's speaking British English
2. He learned English from a British man
That's why Susato has a thicker accent
@@ryanm8529 I know???
@@ryanm8529 Who did he learn British from? Wilson?
@@Hayawii probably. We just know that he was taught by an English man.
@@ryanm8529 I saw a comment that he was an English major
I deeply appreciate his (british?) accent! Give a bit of realism since he is supposed to speak british english X3
I just noticed that susato's "objection!" Speech bubbles is different to each other
Just listen the one at 7:02 and the one at 2:11.
i noticed that too
This happen in the japanese version to btw it's probably do it by porpouse
@@igseba1605 I'm sorry you've lost me there. What do you mean?
@@adamryamizard5560 in the japanese dub the objection of susato change too
@@igseba1605 so, it's actually by purpose to suit the storyline?
5:02 => I finally found his english "Hold it!" Speech bubble! *Yes!*
•7:32 => Is just me or does Yujin Mikotoba's "Objection!" sounds like Simon Blackquill's?
low key mikotoba's "Take that" sounds like edgeworth
thanks again, their voices are beautiful lol
(love the more japanese sounding accent given to susato lol)
iris sounds like uh, suzy sheep from peppa pig lmao
I absolutely love Naruhodo accent! Accent truly punctuate the way we speak.
Usually people are annoyed when they hear heavy accents, but I absolutely love it! There's so much history in people voice💕
RYUNOSUKES VOICE IS SO GOOD OMG
Back in my day only attorneys got voice lines. Now they're handing them out like candy!
2:36 Prepare... for a séus-A-TOH TAIK DAOON! HIYYYYYYYYYYAH
The decision to make Bruce Fairplay Australian was a very good one
He's from fucking _Bendigo._
Susato’s voice is so good, im glad they actually got japanese voice actors their japanese british accents are perfect
Man, if only this game was voiced acted as much as Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright. That was such a good balance ^^
Tone down the racism Van Zieks
"It is toned down..."
Oh...
Unrelated to the voice acting, but I just love all the little animal mascots as well ❤️
i can only hope for full voice acting in the far future
6:06 That is literally just Payne. But not Payne.
My favorite part of Barok von Ziek’s section is when he just gets mad! Gahahahaha!!!
1:20
7:36
I’m pretty sure that these are two different objection voice lines.
8:04 the best voice clip
"hguilteagh"
Almost 10 minutes of perfection
i just realized...bruce fairplay says "strewth". he wants it to be a "fair dinkum" trial, and even mentioned he went down under.
bruce fairplay has been to my homecountry of australia and that makes me happy that theres SOME aus representation in this game even if not much
4:06 god im fucking gay
Barok's VA is the same for Estinien in FFXIV.
Guess we know what he was doing when he was off-screen in Shadowbringers lol.
Now I'm just imagining Estinien shouting objection with Orn Khai on his shoulder looking haughty lol.
After reading this, I couldn't stop imagining that lol
uwaaa i always love voice compilations for my favourite games!! this was excellent!
Harebrayne's "Hold it!" scared the shit out of me the first time I heard it.
Yeah, it startled me too!
I love the sheer amount of characters that get to scream “Hold it!” I hope we have more random one off interjection shouts from characters in the future games. (Would love full voice acting too)
And Harebrayne’s voice is so shrill lol. Love love LOVE that he says ‘Great Scott!’ though!
Omg amazing job!! Thanks for this because I was really looking for it 🥰 it’s a great cast, I like their voices so much
The Sholmes VA tho...
Like damn
Its amazing
2:02 This one turned out to be exactly right as far as the entire AA series goes. Naruhodo vs Auchi leads down to EVERY Wright vs Payne trial, and the annoying trial-run brothers (pun intended) _never_ pull out a win against the Wright family.
My headcanon is that asogi actually put a curse on Auchi here ensuring they’d never win against the naruhodos and the sword swing was part of the ritual lol
@@callinater6133 Considering ghosts, mediums, and various supernatural abilities are a legitimate thing in this universe, I'd believe it
The dub is beautiful.
I especially like Barok's voice. It sends shivers down my spine. As it should.
7:32 Hey.. That sounds like Blackquill!
And his "Take that!" Sounds like edgeworth.
@@adamryamizard5560 it does lol
thank you for feeding my dgs thirsty self
THIS IS SO GOOD
Thank you for your hard work
why does iris wilson sounds like peppa pig i am going to cry
Iris Wilson and Van Zieks voice is soo good!
I only heard Van Ziek's voice on the reveal in TGAA 2 (And the only reason I know about THAT is because I'd heard about Asogi's return)
6:29 I've been looking and I can't find out
Who Gregson's English VA is
*How is it this hard*
6:30 Hold it!
Main 10 (Ryunosuke Naruhodo, Kazuma Asogi, Susato Mikotoba, Herlock Sholmes, Iris Wilson, Barok van Zieks, Gina Lestrade, Yujin Mikotoba, Tobias Gregson and Rei Membami) forever!
The future Ace Attorney games should have full voice acting, not just the anime cutscenes.
Ryutaro’s objection is the best behind og phoenix
